| | | | | | | | Subject:
Retroactively approve letter of intent to purchase a turnout gear washer. | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Approve and ratify the City Administrator’s approval of a letter of intent in support of a grant from the State of Minnesota for the purposes of purchasing a turnout gear washer. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Approve letter of intent. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The Shakopee Fire Department has applied for MN Fire Department Turnout Gear grant to receive funds to purchase a UniMac 45 Lb. Hard Mount Washer. A requirement for the grant is to provide a letter from City Council, indicating the intent to purchase the equipment. The grant was due on or before Oct. 15 by 4 p.m. However, because no City Council meeting would take place before the deadline, City Administrator Bill Reynolds signed the letter of intent. The purpose of this memo is to retroactively receive approval of the signed letter of intent from the Mayor and Council Members. | | |
| | | | | | | | Budget Impact:
The grant requires a 35% match requirement for cities with a population of 25,000 - 50,000 which equates to $3,849.65. The Shakopee Fire Department will cover this match from the Supplies and Services expenditures in the 2019 budget. | | |
